Building a brick BBQ & smoker, please help.

Post by Lee »

First and foremost thank you for taking a look whilst my apologies if this has been covered elsewhere but i couldn't seem to find my problems amongst the other topics.

As stated i'm looking to build a brick BBQ and smoker which will incorporate a rotisserie, oven, standard grill and a steel hot plate etc, all the good stuff. I'd like to use old style iron oven doors for both the rotisserie and the smoker but here's where my problem arises, the length of the rotisserie is approximately 83cm and all of the old style pizza/bread style doors are half that in length.

Any ideas where i can purchase something a little larger or perhaps offer an alternative, i'm open to suggestions.

Many thanks for you time in advance.

Lee.

There is a forum dedicated to people who build their own smokers - http://smokerbuilder.com/forums/

Might try there.

Hi
Use two doors and get them to latch onto a metal plate set in the centre of firepit opening.
Just like a double door woodburning stove.
Hope this helps

Thank you Aris and Si, much appreciated for the help and information.

In all honesty Si i hadn't thought about joining the two together to form one, i'm thinking that will be the best option to-date.
